That is good. I will fix that. Do you have a download site with a short |
| 13 |
introduction on how to get genkernel and catalyst running on other |
| 14 |
systems? Apparently it needs at least emerge, genkernel and benefits |
| 15 |
from splashutils and so. I would like to post a link for other linux |
| 16 |
users, since I'm going to have a speech at the OpenCA Congress in Munich |
| 17 |
on Oct., 17th. Then, I could try it under debian (have a server with |
| 18 |
that) and give a short introduction to that as well. |

I will remove it. |

I'm just telling about my experiences. That bug didn't get any attention |
| 33 |
yet, although I could easily reproduce it. |

Is there a rpm for RHL? I'm sorry, but I don't use RHL any more. RHL 6.2 |
| 40 |
was the last version I was satisfied with, after that, I tried some 7.x |
| 41 |
but there they messed up the gcc and I was very disappointed... Then I |
| 42 |
found out about gentoo and installed 1.2 and was happy again. I never |
| 43 |
again touched RHL. Only debian unstable on my server and SuSE 9.0 once, |
| 44 |
but it was also a 'pain in the ass' compared to Gentoo ;) |

What do you mean by 'generic' compared to i386? I think that Linux won't |
| 49 |
run on <=286 (without some serious patching, at least). So, in my |
| 50 |
opinion, i386 is the most generic Platform on Intel x86 compatible |
| 51 |
Processors... |
